MODERATORS
Soy sauce, chili sauce, chili crisps, rice vinegar, curry powder, or any combination of them. Adding scallions or grapes is also good (maybe not both, never tried it).
Lemon juice, pepper, and parmesan is also good.
Both of the above assume some mayo is used as a base binder.
Basically fat, acid, salt, and heat (in this case spice, but you can also add bread crumbs and egg to make tuna cakes)
Chili crisps! I hadn’t thought of that with tuna, I like to add them to my eggs. Do you have a go to brand? I like the laoganma, but I think it would be too chunky for tuna?
Lao gan ma is my favorite. I like to toast my bread, so the crunchy parts don't bother me.
Lee kum kee is also good, or doubanjiang (sometimes spelled tobanjan) is also nice. Doubanjiang might be the generic name for Lee kum kee.
Or make your own. It's not hard, easy to make a big batch, but it's not as good as Lao Gan ma.
